Lifting the fog in intermediate-risk (submassive) PE: full dose, low dose, or no thrombolysis?

While the management of haemodynamically stable, low risk patients with acute PE is well established, managing intermediate disease often presents a therapeutic dilemma. ⋯ This includes thrombolysis, surgical embolectomy and catheter directed techniques. We have also explored the role of specialist PE response teams in the management of such patients. .
